After making a few changes to the 53-man roster last week, the Denver Broncos have released their updated depth chart ahead of a Week 8 showdown with the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
Last week, the Broncos activated outside linebacker Baron Browning (foot), right tackle Mike McGlinchey (MCL) and cornerback Damarri Mathis (ankle) from injured reserve to the active roster.
Denver also cut running back Blake Watson from the active roster and later re-signed him to the practice squad last week.
This week, the team elevated linebacker Kwon Alexander and guard/center Calvin Throckmorton from the practice squad to the game-day roster.
Following those moves, here’s a look at the team’s updated depth chart going into the Panthers game.
